Potassium permaganate acts as oxidant in alkaline and acidic media. The final products formed from `KMnO_(4)` in the two conditions are respectively

Options

A. `MnO^(2-) and Mn^(3+)`
B. `Mn^(3+) and Mn^(2+)`
C. `Mn^(2+) and Mn^(3+)`
D. `Mn^(2+), MnO_(2)`

Answer

D

Explanation

In acidic medium, `overset (+7)(KMnO_(4))rarroverset(+2)(MnSO_(4)) `
In weak basic medium, `KMnO_(4)rarrMnO_(2)`
